Pole-dancing classes & Burlesque: Empowering Women

Made for a Sociology class, this video examines how burlesque & pole dancing, both of which have predominantly been viewed as demeaning towards women in the past, are now being used as tools of empowerment, allowing women to gain confidence and reclaim their sexuality.

@TheBuckpole What? Can't hear you. Oxies hosed my hearing.

@TheBuckpole Can I get oxies behind the local Denny's like Rush. Oh wait, he sent his maid to get them. Then got her jacked up on a felony rap.

Classy guy.

@mommysheena84 You say what you will, but this 'filth' will not touch me or if I ever have children. I hope your life be void of perversion, because what truely comes down to it is from love.. Remember that. Stripping, pole dancing, it's all the same. Same act, even though the goals are believed to be different. I hope that someday you realized that not all women want to be related to degraded 'hobbies'. Good luck and may we agree to disagree. Good day to you, and may we never meet. ♥

Great video! It's good to know there are so many lovely ladies out there who love themselves and others so much! Keep it going, together we will all overrule the modern view of what a woman is supposed to look and act like! No more size 2 is right. All women are beautiful and strong!

@Britrules10000 I never said you shouldn't comment, so therefore I can comment as well. Ignorance must be bliss! Too funny you think my closed minds comment is sexist! Closed minds means people who are not open to new experiences should keep their mouths shut. If you have no knowledge of it, then don't discuss it! Men and women both can be closed minded. You can say what you want but your life must truly be lacking of new experiences. Why don't you do some research before commenting next time.=)
